So tomorow I am going to a reptile show for the first time. I'm excited yet nervous. Anything I should know before going?

Leave your wallet/purse at home, no cash whatsoever apart from emergency fuel money and your entry fee, you will thank yourself later XD
Apart from that if you want to see the best stuff get there early, and most of all have fun! Don't be afraid to ask breeders questions they usually love answering them and you can pick up some really good tips and cheap feeders/supplies.

I see, we'll be there at the time it opens cause we are earlie birds.
Luckily its not my purse its my mother's purse we have to worry about...

Keep it under lock and key or you'll be saving up for an extension for all the reps you come home with, I think its manditory you just have to buy SOMETHING.

okay... my mom says we'll atleast buy something (I am hoping for a super snow female cause I think they are beautiful) but i don't know yet. She says its a surprise... I can't wait to go...

Supersnows rock! Just if you want to find the best selection get there early, you can allways ask them to hold a gecko back while you go on a looksie.

hmm... i'll keep that in mind. I'm not going to breed anymore though so i don't need the best. Just one with a good personality...

Personality will be hard to determine since everything there is at least a little stressed. Super Snows do rock and you will probably see plenty there. Have fun

Be ready to stand in line to get in. I went to my first show in the beginning of Dec. and the line was about 200 people long. It was worth the wait. I was just supposed to be buying supplies and came out with 1 Leo. I wanted to buy 10 but kept it under control. Have fun.

True... didn't think about that. Well lets just hope if I get one that she(can't have any more males) will have a good personality...
